This is not my website. That would be www.lovelake.org. This was about art and artists, writings, interviews, audio, video etc. during a certain era of art blogging. Now it is just suspended in the occasional image.

This is my first interview in about a month. VOLTA was a sweeping event in my life, plus I now have a great day job. KBOO is fortunate to have Joseph Gallivan now contributing his radio skills to Art Focus. From now on we will share the show and alternate our days.

All of The Judd Montages came out of one magazine, left behind by the original tenant in an illegal sublet I had on West 56th. So the project in a way was finite; it could only come from one source. Altogether there were 17 pieces. This wall presents what remains of the collection, all at VOLTA NY, at booth 2.39.

Last night I met up with a family who were my neighbors when I first moved here, mid-1980s. They gave me shelter often and became my NYC family. I plunged into the working life with a vengeance and on someone's advice, began to study painting at the Art Students League of New York. I still collaged but hardly a soul knew it. Well, she's back.

My working life often involved the beautifying of the female, whether it was through paint or drapery. Over the years I became well aware of how the woman herself - me included - was merchandise. I was especially sensitive to it when I tried to get a leg up in the art world and was often placed back (gently or not so gently) into The Goods corner. The Target above touches on these issues. It was always one of my favorites and will show at VOLTA tomorrow.
